Is your Facebook Business page at risk? New Phishing scam exposed
Kaspersky has uncovered a new phishing scam that’s cleverly targeting businesses promoting their pages on Facebook. This latest scam has been designed with utmost sophistication, using social engineering tactics to exploit business owners’ trust in the platform.
Phony emails that pretend to be from Facebook
The scam starts with emails that appear to come from Meta for Business – the official platform for businesses on Facebook. These emails falsely claim that the recipient’s business page has been flagged for containing prohibited content, urging them to provide an explanation to avoid having their account and page blocked. The goal? To gain access to the business accounts and hijack them.
